ABOUT
A Magnificent Mix of Tradition and Modernity
30 Queen Mary's Drive is a style lover's dream, situated in the heart of the prestigious Olde Kingsway, one of Toronto' finest neighbourhoods developed by Robert Home Smith in 1924. Admired by many for its enchanting setting and beautiful architecture, this unique 3 + 2 bedroom home offers the best of modern living. Designed and custom built by architect Ron Carter of R.H. Carter Architects Inc,, this amazingly well built home is truly one of a kind with exceptional care given to quality, detail and craftsmanship throughout. Completely and painstakingly renovated and updated in 2014, no detail has been left unturned. Its double vaulted Great Room, cathedral beams, skylight, pressed tin ceilings, rich Austrian hardwood all work together to create an warm yet dramatic setting. The luxurious open kitchen flows perfectly into a bright and airy skylit breakfast area which also opens to the dramatic two-storey great room. The painted anaglypta walls of the dining room meet the custom gardenia mural wallpaper accent wall. The window coverings for the entire main floor are custom California shutters. Upstairs, the master bedroom gives way to a spacious walk-in closet with laundry chute, as well as a gracious and large 4 piece ensuite master bath. The second floor bedroom is large and welcoming and overlooks the garden in the backyard. The third floor loft is accessed by a stylized ship's ladder and is easily used as a bedroom with a large closet and room for a desk and sitting area-or could be the ultimate den for teenagers!! The 8'6" ceilings of the lower level and large, above grade windows give way to a sizeable recreation room with an adjoining games room or home office. There are two more spacious bedrooms and a large 3 piece bathroom on the lower level. The brand new limestone front porch and stairs lead you right up the grand, 8' high front door. The home's exterior underwent a full scale landscape makeover with the creation and planting of custom garden beds in the front and a luxurious custom brick paver driveway that runs from the street straight through to the back garage. The double car garage is a fully functional garage, or can be used as an outdoor room, with sliding glass doors that open up to private back garden and Ipe deck.
Robert Home Smith's motto for The Kingsway was "a little bit of England far from England." His vision was to establish an English style garden suburb of the highest integrity and beauty. It is this legacy that has endured to this day, making The Kingsway one of Toronto's most sought after neighbourhoods. The Kingsway is home to excellent schools, places of worship, shopping, sports and recreation and specialty shops and restaurants. It is less than a 30 minute drive to downtown Toronto and a 25 minute drive to Pearson International airport. Welcome to 30 Queen Mary's Drive.
